AI, in practice
I don't just speak about the human side of AI — I build with it.
Why this matters
Hands-on, not just commentary
My keynotes on AI land with leaders because I'm genuinely hands-on with the technology — not just observing it from the sidelines. This very website was designed and built by me using AI, and it's one of several things I've created where inclusion meets technology.
That practical grounding — from two decades in IT and STEM to building with today's AI tools — is exactly what I bring to the stage. I understand what's under the bonnet, where the risks are, and where human judgement has to stay in charge.
What I've built & lead
Where inclusion meets technology
The Trans Inclusion Toolkit
A digital toolkit that helps organisations move from good intentions to real action on trans inclusion — practical guidance, templates and resources.
Visit the toolkit →Beyond Compliance — Trans Inclusion Survey
A benchmarking survey that takes organisations past box-ticking to measurable, lived inclusion, surfacing where culture really stands.
Explore Beyond Compliance →LGBTQ+ History
An AI-assisted resource Joanne created exploring LGBTQ+ history — surfacing the people, milestones and movements that shaped today's conversations on inclusion.
Explore lgbtq-history.info →Policy & document analysis tools
AI-assisted review of workplace policies, processes and documents through an inclusion and belonging lens — fast, consistent, human-checked.
AI consulting & advisory
A bookable service: helping HR, talent and leadership teams adopt AI responsibly and inclusively — with governance, critical thinking and humans firmly in the loop.

joannelockwood.co.uk was designed and built by Joanne using AI — content, design and code — as a working example of human-led, AI-assisted delivery.
The toolkit
Tools & platforms I work with
I work fluently across the modern AI and build stack — choosing the right tool for the job, and always keeping a human in the loop.
The keynote, grounded in practice
AI, Belonging & the Human Future of Work
Because I build with these tools, the keynote isn't hype or doom — it's what's actually happening, and what leaders can do about it.
